Time
Oh, what a love I have for this cocktail! A Singapore Sling is just the cure for feeling a bit on the low side. A tropical beauty that will get you tipsy from just a taste. I was only introduced to this cocktail a few years back when I started working at a little tapas style restaurant called Rollo in Edinburgh, an amazing little restaurant - you should check them out! They have a tasty wee cocktail menu with a banging Singapore Sling on it.
I loved working there, super wholesome people, even the customers were great the majority of the time - just a lot of fun. All the team really knew how to give good service which made my job a piece of piss. Naturally, through the week was quieter than the weekends so we’d have less staff on - usually minus our wonderful bar tender as we’d just make the drinks ourselves. Sometimes you get more walk in tables than you expect or two tables turn up late, and two early so you’re running about a bit mad. It was one of those nights, everything still going smooth and customers happy, until one table of 6 orders 6 Singapore Slings. You then realise that the two of you that are already serving 50 people together is down to one person serving the whole restaurant as one of you has to go and make those wonderful booze laden concoctions. Deep shit! Thats when you know that the staff are incredible, absolutely in the shoe and still doing everything with one sexy ass smile.
Cam used to come pick me up after he finished his work. The days where I wasn’t quite finished he would be that dick who ordered a Singapore Sling. They’re too good not to be that ass-hole. Anyway, as usual we’ve fucked around with the recipe and made it even more saucy. Knock yourselves out!

Hey!
Similar to a Singapore Sling but with a bit more nonsense. Cam was most excited to make, or should I say drink, this one! Go easy, like most of our cocktail recipes it will knock your socks off! This was the first drink Jade had after having our little one Maia. She’d been thinking about it for months - and for good reason. If we’ve not sold this to you by now then we don’t know what will.
**P.S. Will probably not be a cure for fucking anything!
